What Is The Difference Between Traditional Shutters and Plantation Shutters?

Explaining Louvretec’s Range of Outdoor, External Shutters

 

Shutters offer an unparalleled mix of shade, shelter, sunlight control, security and privacy. Window treatments can make a huge difference in the look and feel of a home. Outdoor, external shutters offer both style and function. With different types of shutters to choose from, we outline the differences between the two common types of shutters below to help you make the right choice for your home.


Traditional Shutters

Traditional shutters consist of narrow panels that are hinged together and can be opened and closed. They are typically made of wood and are designed to be mounted inside the window frame.


Plantation Shutters

Plantation shutters are a newer style of shutters that have gained popularity in recent years. Plantation shutters have wider louvres or slats that are mounted on a frame. These louvres can be adjusted to control the amount of light and privacy in a room.


Louvretec relies on premium engineering and top-quality design to bring a bespoke solution to Australian homes and commercial properties. That’s why we have designed a wide range of outdoor shutters to choose from, including the following: 


  • Sliding shutters 
  • Bifolding shutters 
  • Hinged external shutters 
  • Top hung sliders 
  • Hinged shutter doors 
  • Plantation shutters 
  • Midi louvres installed as slides
